Excellent central location - just metres from the Parrell metro and Montjuic funicular station (T10 transport ticket is great value - less than €10 for 10 zone one journeys which includes airport train, T10 ticket can be shared by members of party). Great for connections to all parts of city.

Location means a lot during a trip! Doesn’t it? Thank you so much for sharing with other travellers how well connected we are!It is a fantastic reward for us to receive your positive feedback and we are glad to know that your stay in Barcelona has been nice and productive. Please be back anytime!

Warm regards, Guest Experience Manager

We stayed at this hotel for three nights ‘free’ on MAS reward points. I'd emailed to the hotel in advance to request a quiet room and we got a great one at the back of the hotel on the 5th floor. All the staff were very friendly and there was a welcoming bowl of sweets from the management with our name on them, though this could have been as we were reward scheme guests. Tea/coffee making facilities plus a fridge.A really nice touch was that the bathroom had various free ‘packs’ for males and females including shaving kits (m&f!), a ‘feminine’ care pack, comb etc. The bedroom was clean, bright and in good condition although my wife didn’t think the air-con cooled the room enough. It looked like the whole floor had been nicely refurbished in recent years.There was very good free wi-fi reception in the room but you need to get a new code each morning from reception to log on.Breakfast was extra ‘on offer’ at 11 Euros (all hotels seem to have breakfast ‘offers!). The breakfast buffet was typical of mid range hotels. The served coffee left a lot to be desired but you could make your own fresh from the machines in the buffet (a much better idea). The hotel is only 50 meters from the Paral-lel metro station which is also the location of the Montjuic funicular up to the park. It’s a ten minute walk to the centre of the Rambla through a safe walking area. This places it on the rim of the main tourist area.The hotel is a ‘cruise’ hotel so lots of groups coming and going (particularly Americans).The one improvement I’d suggest is a concierge service.The general ambiance of the hotel was ‘functional’ rather than stand-out special but we would certainly use the hotel again at the right price!

nice hotel very comfortable, had a room on the 3rd floor to the side of the hotel which was very noisy. Had a few problems in the room,but things were sorted very quickly. hotel rooms need redecorating badly! The only real problem for us was no tea or coffee making facilities in the room, and for a 3/4 star rated hotel i think this is very bad. Great location all in all had a great 3 night stay

Room Tip: ask for a room that does not look over the side or front of the hotel.

Thanks a lot for transmitting us your comments. Your opinions are very important for us and we are glad that your general impression has been positive. We take note of your remarks in regards to the room and specially the kettles matter, since it is the aspect more important for you. So far the tea and coffee making facilities are not TRYP Hotel’s standards but we do offer the possibility of either prebook this service in the room or staying in our Premium Rooms which have these facilities. Once again, thank you so much and please do not hesitate to contact us for anything you may need. We remain at your entire disposal.

I'm not bothered if it's two or five star - upon arrival I don't want other peoples hairs in the bath, chewing gum under the basin, bits all over the carpet and water marks in front of the toilet - the room was not clean!

The view is fine and the bed was firm which we prefer. The rooms are very old - the carpet was rucking-up due to age and wear and bathrooms have cracked tiles and shower taps - they are well overdue for refurbishment.

We got this as part of a lastminute.com deal, so it was cheap - but you can see why!!

Our first words to you must clearly be sorry. As you mentioned, independently of the hotel rate this is not what you would expect from us and it is indeed something we must look into as soon as possible. We are seriously concerned about the room condition and cleanliness problems and please, rest assured your comments will be transmitted to our involved departments. Even though our Housekeeping team is really well considered by most of our guests we will put immediate corrective actions so it does not happen again. A great piece of information for us would be to know the room number you stayed in. Would you be so kind to provide us that information?

Thank you so much and we hope you give us a second chance to show you that the TRYP Apolo can offer you a much greater experience.

We stayed here on Oct 1, after a 12 day cruise. Found the hotel to be in a central location, we were able to easily walk to Las Ramblas as well as to the bus stop for the Hop On Hop Off bus. We used both itineraries of the bus to tour the city and some of the outskirts. The hotel room was clean and we were not in a noisy location. The buffet breakfast was as filling as you wanted it to be--many good choices. The staff at the front desk was helpful and one gentleman was extremely helpful to me, assisting me with my airline check-in and printing the boarding passes. We were very pleased with our choice to stay here.

A few reviews before we were mentioning how good is to start in an excellent way a trip…but obviously we cannot ignore the last part of our trip! It has to be amazing since it will be provably the last memory we keep in our minds… we are so glad the TRYP Apolo has been your choice, the icing on the cake.

Thank you so much for letting other travellers know about our great location, breakfast and service…When are you coming back? We can’t wait to receive you and take good care of you!

Close to Las Rambla and a short stroll from the port area. Breakfast buffet good but hopeless tea and coffee arrangement.. Room was quiet even though we were right by the lifts. BEWARE OF THE "BEAT THE QUEUE" DEAL - they offer this "special" package so you can book in advance for Sagrada Familia and avoid queuing (the queues to get in by paying on the day are HUGE) - but they charged 30 euros for this deal and we learned from the Fattirebike tour guy that if you book online it should only cost 15 euros - you get a pre-booked ticket and you go through a special queueless entrance. So we used the hotel's internet facility on the mezzanine and printed out our prebooked tickets (cost us 2euros to have 15mins internet use). We thought their offer of "helping" us by charging double the price was simply excessive.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your comments with other travellers!It is a good advice the one you leave in regards to the Sagrada Familia, however, we would like to inform you that the deal you mention includes a Bus which comes and picks you up as well a special guided tour within the church. Of course it depends on each one’s preferences but some people like to take this service in order to comfortably enjoy the visit. We really apologize if our advises have been misunderstood; we like to provide the most useful information to our guests. It is a pleasure to know you enjoyed your stay with us, your stay at the TRYP Barcelona Apolo!

Starting off our long awaited Mediterranean cruise in Barcelona was well worth the stop over. Tryp Barcelona Apolo offers excellent accommodation being so central to all the main sights and shopping areas & market made the visit to Barcelona all the more exciting. The food was very good and the staff exceptionally helpful. We will certainly be back.
